Good news!   “Gathering” has resumed!!  You are invited to gather together  and enjoy these informal afternoons with friends as we explore and reflect on various aspects of our life of faith--and how this informs the choices we make as we encounter the important issues of today’s world.  This fall we will using Bishop Mariann Budde’s book “How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith” to focus our time together.  I think Bishop Budde’s will lead us into some very interesting conversations.  We will also  include other topics of interest from time to time.

Handouts will be send out early each  week to help bring a focus to our conversation.   

So bring your coffee or tea or “whatever” and gather around our virtual kitchen table.

If you have any questions or want more information, e-mail me at wildrosie7@gmail.com. Please feel free to invite a friend to join us via Zoom.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all each week.

Volunteers will share a slide show and video and answer all questions. The Grandmothers of Alberta for a New Generation (GANG) was launched in 2006, to support the Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF), in response to the emerging crisis faced by grandmothers in Africa. Since 2006, more than $1.4 million has been raised by the GANG for the SLF. This money is used by the SLF to support grandmothers and community-led organizations in sub-Saharan Africa. In the face of discrimination based on gender, age, and HIV status, they are courageous advocates for their families and communities.

Learn more about the work of the GANG in Edmonton, and of course about how their fundraising helps the Stephen Lewis Foundation and grandmothers in Africa. 

Coffee, Tea and refreshments will be served.

Donations of fabric are gratefully accepted. Large donations should be dropped off on Thursdays at Strathearn United Church between 10am & 1:30pm.

Panels were assembled on the church roof first, late November / December, as they needed to do this before the roof became slippery due to ice/snow.  

They had to finish other projects that had a grant deadline of the end of year so the annex panels and hook up were set back until January of this year.

On Tuesday, January 6th, the solar contractors had the power off at the church for the day to hook up the system.  From the 7th they have been working on the annex roof installing the remaining panels .. they have been working every day and hope to complete installation and have things up and running soon.

At the end of December Icon Elevator Company visited St Augustine's to explore ways of making the elevator doors easier to open .. as they are very heavy!!!

After attempting adjustments of the mechanism that opens / closes the door, which did not prove fruitful, it has been decided that a button, for automatic opening would be the best option. 

We are now awaiting a quote from the company and, hopefully, work will start soon on completing this much needed update to our current elevator system.

The office is open to callers on Monday andThursday mornings from 9am to 12pm (sometimes 1pm).

Phone messages are picked up on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.

Email messages are picked up daily.

A light lunch will be provided.
